I'm a long time reddit user.. I should say I'm quite hooked. But lemmy feels a lot quiet. My primary interests are electronics, embedded programming, piracy ๐Ÿ˜ and selfhosting. Apart from the last community the others are quite deserted.

I'v been on and off since past 1 1/2 years. No change..

On the other hand Mastodon is going well. And I nurture the interactions there. Lemmy could be the same. I too feel Reddit is kinda on-to-your face and aggressive.

It's the Network effect. At the end of the day, Lemmy is still a lot smaller than Reddit, and of course that means there is less content, especially in more niche communities. The only way to really improve the situation is to grow the network with more users and more diversity.

I feel like the activity level is good enough to use it mostly, but I also still check in on Reddit regarly because some communities are simply very inactive on here.

I guess what you can do as an individual is to post more content, participate in the community, and help spread the word that the fediverse even exists.
